Effortless style proposed by Yuta Kaji. VOL.3 Leo Yoshioka

Hawkins, born in London in the 19th century, is a historic brand with its roots in military and work boots. Its tough design and solid functionality have created numerous fans, and it has been loved in a wide range of scenes from outdoor to street. In the 1990s, the brand became a symbol of Japanese culture, and is now undergoing a wave of reissue and reevaluation. The "Liam Series," a modern interpretation of this spirit, combines the presence of a classic work boot with functions such as waterproofing and cushioning, and has evolved into a pair that can be worn alongside urban life. Once again, stylist Yuta Kaji will incorporate these boots into his everyday styling. The third guest is freelance director Leo Yoshioka. His sensibility and Kaji's filter overlap to reveal a new look of "Hawkins".

Style 03: A light and airy style with a resort feel.

This styling of nylon shorts with a high-gauge knit sublimates casual items into a resort-like look. This is an exquisite coordination with a sense of balance, where elegance dwells within lightness.

It looks very simple. But by combining different materials, you can create individuality and a cohesive overall look. When you can connect items with materials and silhouettes, you can transform a classic outdoor look into a style that fits in well with the city.

On your feet is the black "Liam Moc". The upper made of oil leather will become more durable as you wear it, and it will grow to your own specifications as time goes by.

The style has a strong resort and sporty feel to it, so I kept my feet chic. Matching the shorts, socks, and shoes adds a sense of calmness and elegance.

This is a pair that can be worn without hesitation, while at the same time bringing a subtle depth to the look. This is a look that shows the depth of the Hawkins' pocketbook.
